the chart i have says plants in soil wont take up phosphorus if the ph is above 7.5 and below 6.5. im using a 150w hps in a 3 sq ft area and my nute is 10-54-10. i know it will get bigger later but its so small compare to my last grow and other people grow at 5 weeks. what about flushing will there be any negative effects flushin this late in flower?

Smokin signed off so ill try to help you. First off do you have good circulation, that is key with big buds. Also WR is a very 'stringy' plant. It seems to grow very tall and stretchy, i havnt grown it myself but im only going by the pictures ive seen. How big is each bud would you say, the size of your thumb or smaller? Any root damage at night will comletely halt flower production, including low soil/water temps.

Flushing will not harm it. You actually want to flush the last week before harvest in order to remove excess nitrogen and other salt buildup.

Ok do you have these guys in slow release nutrient soil. eg Miracle Grow... If so shes probably a tad nute burned.
But its very normal for one seedling to just stop growth and die, where these bagseeds?

the seeds are all from midgrade weed which i got from my friend joey. i purchased a few of his bags and kept all the nice looking seeds. i got 53 after 6 purchases. i decided to start to grow them because weed quality in fl is not the greartest.

It is in the big cities... Florida is actually in the top 5 for indoor hydro producers, according to the DEA. But yeah i figured it was bag seed b/c only one is getting this nute burn. Some strains dont like fertilizers so keep that in mind for that one girl in the future.

thanks for your help lamp, i was also wondering if you could recommend a good product with a nice amount of calcium, i got plant food for them but its also slow release so i know theyre not getting it yet, another thing with the plant food is that is only .14% cal. would hydrated lime be my best bet? and ill def be sure to stay away from slow release soil for my lil guys, thank you for that tip.
thanks man i think you nailed it. im having problem with air circulation and cold temp during the dark period which is daytime for me. i have to seal up the closet so theres no light leak and temp is around 50F. so i have a choice of leaving the fan on for circulation which drop the temp ever more or switch the fan to heater which only warms up the closet to a certain temp then stop blowing. the main cola is about the size of my thumb or smaller.
yea but thats a different type of flushing when you water without nutes but same amount. im asking about the flush where you pour 5 times the size of your pot with water.

You dont need to fertilize for about another week or two. But yes Agricultural lime would give you some calcium.
Or you could eat alot of omelets, on my soil grows i always cover the top of my soil with clean crushed egg shells, they are a good source of calcium and potassium.
Glad to help, +rep please. Lamp.

oh yeah, to help you out abit my grow room is no more than 3ft wide and 3ft the other way. i have 3 lamps. all bought from lowes, sylvinnia plantgro is the name of them(theyre all 120watts) its an adequte amount of light i know. the lamps are very hot and are about 1ft away from the plant. i have a fan on at all times. aluminum foil to line the walls. i water them every other day, and spray them a few times a day with a squirt bottle. i also move the plants around so they get even amounts of light. is there anything i can do better or diffrent?

Yes you will still be fine, when it rains it pours. So if its ok in nature its ok indoors.

I just start putting in CLEAN egg shells everyday until i cant see the soil, as you water they get rinsed in and decompose. So id say about 5-10 in each pot. But your not going to burn them with this method.

i had a previous grow and used 4 100wt cfls, they were fine. after me and my ex broke up, he took them because he made the purchase. these lights i have now, i have noticed are alot better so far, in two weeks they are big and have many leaves. i got this result with the cfls a year ago but slower. these lights i have now are specifically for growing plants indoors.
